[FFXI] Holla Back.

I dearly want to refer to these events as 'going to Prom', but I don't get to because the vernacular is well-established. Anyhow, that's the deal; I have been playing FFXI for years and just like I never got past level 50 until this month, I never did Promies. If you're not familiar with FFXI, it's an event where they put a cap on your level and make you run a gauntlet of dangerous monsters until you face a boss. It's been around for a long-ass time and has long-established procedures for surviving. Half the run is the preperation, the other half is a hard-assed boss. In between, you can still wipe.

I did my second-ever run, and my first success on the Holla map. I was the main healer, and I think we would have wiped except that we were up to the wire and lost our Paladin, and we all kind of busted out our one-in-2 hours moves and I used mine to bring the party to full health at the risk of biting it.

It was a good time! I look forward to doing the other two.
